When we see a movie, we see the world and a story in a different way. Our perspectives get a different vision because of the art presented to us through visualisation. There are some women who have touched upon stories and have created an art form called movie for us. We would like to list some women film directors of India.

Along with being a film director, she is also a screenwriter. While she has made some awesome movies which are definitely going to remain our favourites for life.

Deepa Mehta
Deepa always makes sure to touch upon topics which are going to touch our emotions. It includes range of topics like Patriarchy, homosexuality, communal strife and ill treatment of widows.
